A new idea!

Take any block of written words, insert, and a "Wordle"
is created.
The creator of this amazing little program has his own blog
here and is listed in my Blog list @ the bottom of this page.
The first is a Newsletter sent twice weekly by renowned artist
Robert Genn This one was based on the "Zen of Art"

And the second in which the words of a very accomplished artist and
mentor of many gave suggestions to someone re where they
are (and or want) to go with their art. (Thanks Howard)
Hope you enjoy using this great tool.

"Self Portrait "with commentary

Painted for a "Self-Portrait" challenge @ Wet Canvas Acrylics forum.
(Acrylics on canvas 8'X 10")

My comments re the unusual design:
"I had a very hard time with this, I do not look at myself"

"I see my hands, the Moon, my Grandsons, but I do not see me.

I see the art that I paint, what I sew and design, I see my family and am proud of them, and that is me.

At this time in my life I see myself as at peace with the world, free, happy, and contented.

Learning to be a good Buddhist is important to me.
So,

A non-traditional Self Portrait.

I hope that others see me this way as well.

'A person that loves, is loved, likes her lumpy body, and is happy in her own skin, and cares not what others think, when she dances naked underneath the moon.
